>.> Last night, I was in the E.R. It sucked.
What happened was this: I got a buttload of adrenaline, and then about a minute later, I got incredibly weak, dizzy and lightheaded, and nauseous. Mamma took me and we sat on a bench. Ten or fifteen minutes later, I was finally in the car. The right side of my body was doing random jerking stuff that I didn't like and I couldn't control. Even the right side of my face and neck. I ended up with a big slobber spot on my right shoulder from where my tongue was lolling outside my mouth.
Kind of amusing: the Dr. told me to stick out my tongue, but I couldn't keep it in the middle. My dang tongue kept moving to the right side. Ungh.
Anyway, so the doctor (or rather, Physician's Assistant) was very kind to me... And he had a good sense of humor. (:
They made me get an IV. I hated it. If you ever have to get an IV, I'm sooo sorry. They pushed the Saline in and I could feel it in my throat!! And it tasted like helium. Eeeeew. Then, they gave me 25mg of Benedryl and said that in 25 minutes I could have the rest. That's a lot of Benedryl. Like, the little pills are 25, and aren't you supposed to only take one? Guhh.
So I told the doctor, "Doesn't Benedryl come in pills?" and he said "Yes, but the IV's faster." -.-" Humor me.
Then when the lady was sticking me, I asked, "Can't we sign like, a DNI or something? You know, "Do Not Insert"?" Mom was like, "No, that's already Do Not Intubate." Ugh.
I ended up getting the dang thing. If you have to get Benedryl injected for an IV, ask them to water it down. It burns. Plus, I felt nauseous and I didn't move my left arm at all because I didn't want to upset the stupid IV. I don't like needles.. Or long plastic things in my vein used to spread medicine around. *shakes head* No thanks.
So, at a quarter 'til 10, they gave me the other 25 mg of Benedryl and told me the Dr. wanted me to stay until 10. Woohoo! I got to leave at 10! ...Or not.
I mean, I'm sure they were working as fast as they could, but I really don't have much patience when I have alien objects stuck in my veins. In fact, one could argue that I don't have much patience period, and that gets amplified when I have foreign objects tampering with my bloodstream.
I ended up getting out around 10:30. Mom ended up taking out my IV around 10:15. Thank you, Mommaaaa!! She loves me. <3
I ended up walking out of the ER, no weird unwanted movement on my right side, but so totally doped up. *nods*
Anyway, the reason they think I was having these symptoms is because the Seroquil built up in my body and I had this reaction. I'm going to talk to Dr. B sometime today and until then my meds are on hold. Fun? Not really.
I'm in kind of a bad mood due to lack of sleep and this annoying pain on the left side of my nose. *shrugs* I'll be fine, though. Questions? Feel free to ask.
Oh, and yes, I know the doctors and nurses were doing what was good for me etc. Mom told me last night, "You know, you're a horrible patient." I looked her in the eye and said, "Yep!" Sorry, guys.
